Death Won Her Over

Ragged shallow breaths
She lies in a convulsed state
A cold sweat has broken
In her sickly pale skin

Rough calloused hands
She clutches the blanket tight
Seeking the comforting warmth
Her frail body couldn’t offer

Frantic dilated eyes
She roams it all around
Searching for a light minute
To help her find a way out

Lanky atrophied legs
She commands for it to move
Besieged inside her thoughts
Escape was beyond reach

Death has arrived
Its cruel cackle chilling her bones
Its decomposed smell wrinkling her nose
A scythe posed around her neck

A duel for her life ensues
She tugs pathetically at a thread
Her cries fell on deaf ears
Death has won the battle

A Walk with Condemnation

I walk in solitude
The path I grisly walk on
Is slowly becoming shrouded
With intense darkness

I see them all
Lush green trees wither
Fully bloomed flowers wilt
Nature’s beauty dries out

I hear them all
Lovely nightingales out of tune
Lively cicadas on mute
Joyful hymns drowns out

I behold them all
The bright sun goes out
The pouring rain sets in
Each and everything grows dark

Indeed with each tottering step
My world falls apart
All happiness burns out
All living thing dies

I am damned
Everything I touch
Everything I come in contact with
Is snatched out by death

Monster Within

I cannot breathe
I do not belong here
How I wish escape
Would be easily at hand

As the dawn breaks
I pull on my mask
To hide away the darkness
No one wants to see

The warm hellos
The wistful goodbyes
That everyone exchanges
Just to keep pace with fraudulence

You would not like me
If you really knew me
The sight of the real me
Would scare you away

A monster lives within
Underneath my skin
Feeding on the pains
Living only on hatred

I am a monster
A cold hearted beast
Into the eternal vortex
Of chaos, I thrive

Vampire Lover

Luring quietly in the dark
Cold hard eyes roam free
Searching for a sign of life
In the cobblestone path

His thirst is undeniable
The need of flesh grows more
Like a flash of light
The predator sees its prey

Unmindful of the world
A girl forlornly walks by
Closing in on her
The monster hungrily lunges

Sinking deep to her fair skin
He draws out the blood
Inadvertedly glancing at her face
His vision felt betrayed

Warm caring eyes stared back
Willfully she submits herself
As an unsullied life preserver
For his starved being to feed on

In a crude sickening way
She lovingly dies for him to live
And there’s no mistaking
With the frozen smile on her now blue lips

Charismata

As the blanket drops
The floodgates open up
Unshed tears find their way
Down her sullen cheeks

Her stifled cries
And anguished moans
Were unheard of
By anyone who knows her

For when she walks amongst us
With that lively gait
No one would have guessed
How miserable she felt inside

And when she looks up to you
With her cheerful grin
You wouldn’t have guessed
How practiced her smile was

No, we wouldn’t have guessed
That just a while ago
She was lying flat on the floor
Shattered and wretched

For the world is her stage
Play up her misty eyes
Force a smile upon her lips
And the lookers-on believe
